Women face being turned away from the Royal Enclosure during
Royal Ascot if their skirts are too short or if their dresses have
straps less than an inch wide.

What a bunch of fuddy-duddies.

In other words, the affair won't look like graduation at UCLA
(and dare I suspect, too many other campi).
A place to show off cocktail dresses and mini-skirts suitable
for prostitutes hocking their wares.

"In other words, the affair won't look like graduation at UCLA "

"To me Ascot is a dirt track in Gardena, CA."

Noticed the "bruin" thing, eh?

Ascot was a 1/2 mile dirt track where I grew up on Demolition Derby and Fireball Roberts in the 50s.

Gowns tend to cover up grads pretty well at graduation. It is the commencement speakers who have kept me away from the campus for 39 years.

Now, dressage, there is a royal class act.
